RiverStar-Aura Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I ordered a dental scaler from Sway too but haven't even attempted to use it. Kirah moves her head around too much and I'm terrified I'll stab her. We're still working on getting used to teeth brushing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazyWal Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 sorry what books? The books that say chewing/gnawing bones keep dogs' teeth sparkling :p Clearly she hasn't and I'd love her to learn to brush her own teeth, that chicken flavoured toothpaste makes ME want to gag :laugh: Yes! it is completely revolting! I wish I had never bought it I should clarify after reading my post again that the "smell" of the chicken toothpaste makes me gag. I'm not actually using it myself when the colgate runs out :laugh: Boronia are you having any success with the brushing? I'm hopeless and it's not Maddie's fault she's great, she just sits there and lets you do anything but I struggle getting the ones up the back.

SwaY Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I do my dogs when they are very tired, less likely to move. I also start at the bottom and work my way up to the gums, to hopefully prevent me from stabbing them. I flick the tarter away rather then scraping it.

Shelby Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Sway, when you finish your guys, you are more than welcombe to try doing mine. Uggghh who would think that shelties can be so strong when it comes to scaling their teeth. Have two that make such a song & dance about it, I just let them go. You would think I was pulling their teeth out :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giraffez Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) Sway, while you are at it, you can do mine too :) Sway,I had a look at your scaler that Clyde posted in the earlier post, do you sell the flat ended ones? The ones on your site look so sharp and pointed I'm nervous to use it. By the way, the coat of your danes are amazing, what are you feeding them?

Vehs Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I've been using some old pointy tweezers on the D, but just bought some off Sway to use instead - good price :) He gets bone everyday, but has some plaque up on his canines. Taz (malt x) has some as well, but he has just started eating bones so it might go away. I am able to do Taz's and my old cats with just my fingernail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giraffez Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 Has anyone used plaque off. Its a seaweed based powder you add to your dog's meals. I read some reviews it does wonders. But its seaweed, is iodine an issue for dogs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rappie Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 As far as I remember from the product info, Plaque Off is not recommended for animals that already have thyroid problems but the daily dose should not be a problem for normal animals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dogs are on show stopper and lots of grooming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyosha Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Awesome Sway! I've been procrastinating about doing my boy's teeth before the Royal but have just bought one of yours and it looks like it will make life much easier. Mine get bones which are great for cleaning back teeth. But as my breed have such a long jaw, and chew most bones with their back teeth, canines in particular can still get a build up - even with bucketloads of bones. The only bones I've ever had that cleaned front teeth as well were whole sheep heads (not for the faint hearted!). As they spent days on them, tearing all the bits off the heavy bones with their front teeth, they worked beautifully. But not that easy to come across unfortunately...

OSoSwift Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I scale my dogs teeth if and when they need it - which is rarely - with a hand scaler. None of my dogs ahve ever required a GA and scale polish. One did get them done once when he had to get a tooth removed. OT Sway but do you sell sterile Staple guns?
